3 year ordeal

[PhillyScared]

Hello,

Around 3 years back, I fell sick for almost a 2-3 month period. Around that period of time, I essentially had a myriad of symptoms like extreme cough and prologned sore throat, joint pain, fatigue and sluggishnes, IBS like symptoms, neuropathy like symptoms, mild chest pain, racy heart, extreme acid reflux, dazed feeling, aversion to sunlight, bumps and breakouts which came and went, temporary swollen lymph nodes, few permanent marks that are still there, an annoying small red patch on the nose etc. I know, this sounds almost incomprehensible,  but out of no where I experienced these symptoms over a period of 2-3 months. After a while, I started feeling much better but even today some symptoms still remain though much milder than they were then.

I went to a lot of doctors, got a lot of tests done, the only few diagnosis that I have had till now are - Acid Reflux, a lung condition called Disquamous Interstitial pneumonia (I had nodules which led me to get a bronchoscopy done), fatty liver with slightly elevated enzymes and higher than normal cholestrol levels. I am only 28 yrs of age, and 3 years back I had none of these complains or diagnosis. What has gotten me even more worried is now I am seeing people around me exhibiting these symptoms. I am planning to see an Infectious disease specialist, but I have until now had a hard time convincing doctors because of the generality of my experience.

I would really appreciate if I could get some professional advice, insight, suggestions. Thanks!

Mike

When the immune system is suppressed it dissables the T4 helper cells that "guard" against cancer and allow cancerous/benign cysts to form.  It also damages your macrophages that "clean up" infections and fungal issues So you end up w/ a chronic intracellular bacterial infection(s) coupled w/ unsuppressed viral infections and fungal infections that penetrate into your tissues.  These infections are very hard to treat since they are systemic and intracellular.  Your immune system cannot effectively fight these off, particulary if it is a borrelia like Lymes.  There are over 200 known Borrelia species in the US alone, but Lymes is the most recognized.  
  Within 6 hours of getting ill (flu like illness, worst flue you ever had and not recovered properly) these bacteria can penetrate the blood brain barrier and cause cognative issues, like brain fog, anxiety, OCD, then you will exhibit symptoms of neuropathy and fasticulations, IBS, diarhea then constipation, weird skin sensations/rashes, eye pain, neck cracking and radiating nerve pain, amongst other issues.

NO standard medical doctor will ever figure this out, even a Infectious Disease doc.  trust me.  I know.  I was missdiagnosed for 14 months until I contacted  2 Nobel nominees in Virology, Immunology and cellular pathology.  You need to contacs ILADS   www ilads org and find a doctor that believes you, knows you are not faking it, and will recognize your symptoms.

  Also research www IMMED org and look at Autoimmune Illnesses or Infectious diseases.  This is a site run by a Cellular Pathologist who was a Nobel candidate.  he has written 3 Citation Content papers, over 600 peer reviewed and accepted papers on this and other chronic illnesses.  He is on the top 100 most cited researchers around the world.  He is NO dummy.  His name is Dr Professor Garth Nicolson

If you have any questions, I will be happy to give you more info.

In my opinion, and I am not a Dr, but I had all of your symptoms which makes me able to give you some insight.

i believe you have either a Mycoplama infection (chronic INTRACELLULAR bacterial infection) or Lymes disease w/ coinfections of Bartonella and Babesia.  Lymes can also have mycoplasmas as a coinfection.  Your friends are likely suffering the same illness.  These bacterias suppress the immune system and allow latent viruses to re-emerge.  These viruses include EBV, Cytomegalovirus, Enterovirus and HSV1, HSV2, HHV6
